Notes
This snake was under a rock that was very hot to the touch, but it had a good sized meal in it. I did not want to disturb it much, so I got the one shot as found, then it shot out, but I was able to use my boot and get it back under the rock. Blurry pics as I did not want to mess with it anymore than I already had. habitat shot of hillside it was found on-(shot was from 2007 though for the habitat)
